'As a captain, I have an additional responsibility'

Rohit Sharma has won four out of five matches since he replaced Ricky Ponting as the skipper of the Mumbai Indians side and the stylish batsman feels that leading the side is helping him evolve as a batsman too.

"As a captain, I have an additional responsibility to lead from the front with the bat and I have to be calm. Having said that, I try not to put pressure on myself thinking I have too much on my plate. It's a very good start that I have got. I would take that result as a captain," Rohit told IPLT20.com during an interview after his thrashed Chennai Super Kings by 60 runs.

"But I am not going to relax. We still need to play good cricket for the next five games and get to the Play-Offs comfortably."
